Kia have released some rendering of their forth coming all new Cerato sedan sold as a Forte in the U.S. that will be debuted at the North American International Auto Show next week.

With a fresh take of Kia’s trade mark “Tiger Nose”, bonnet Creases, lower more aggressive lower valance and a new dynamic head light design which combine to give the Cerato an enhanced road presence. The rear features a new features a new tail light design with the indicators removed from the tail light cluster and set them. The will be connected via a thin strip similar to the Sportage.

While the outside brings a lot of new changes it’s the interior that see”s the biggest change from the out going model, and it seems from the rendering draws a lot of inspiration again from the Stinger.
The new slimmer and more stylish dash is flanked by aeronautically inspired vents similar to the Stinger, while the centre stack has a less cluttered and cleaner look. Comprising of just a large floating screen the centre stack, aircon vents and controls. The Rendering also shows a large storage tray in front of a new look shifter, while it appears the Cerato will also pick up a better looking and more sporty 3 spoke steering wheel design.
